Beaches – Koloumbo

Awards

This beach is roughly 4 klm eastwards from the village of Oia and is definitely worth visiting for those looking for a quiet sandy beach. There are umbrellas and beach beds to rent as well as a parking area and a basic refreshment stand.

It is worth walking all the way to end of the beach (east) to reach the sandiest part with pristine clear water. This part of the beach is sometimes frequented by nudists but if this does not bother you then it does not bother them…

Also, don’t be surprised to see oceanographic research vessels lingering off the coast as there is a dormant volcano just 8klm off the coast which has aroused the interest of various seismologists lately!!!
